Episode Three "Ash Catches a Pokemon"

The episode starts in a different way this time surprising me.  Ash is in a stance of strength and we see him jump up, very much so dramatized, and throw a pokeball at the bug/worm pokemon caterpie.  Ash succesfully catches his first pokemon and is enthralled by his accomplishment. Misty the water pokemon trainer, is quite the opposite because she has a fear of bug type pokemon. I think this is a common stereotype the guys are into bugs and such while girls arent so much. As a kid i thought that was just common sence but now i can look back at it and really analyze the real life stereotypes and scenerios that are put into the show. Back to the episode Ash is overjoyed, and caterpie seems to like misty as well. When they wake up the next morning and caterpie is sleeping next to misty I still found it funny when she screamed as loud as she could waking the rest of her companions. Caterpie is hurt because Misty rejected him and hurt his feelings and Ash's encouragment was to no aid. This is another scenereo that we find in the real world. When guys are rejected by girls normally they feel a little down at first but there guy friends usually are there to pick them up and give them the encouragment that its not the end of the world and that there are people who like him. Ash is later faced with a pidgeotto the evolved form of pidgy and sends out caterpie to fight it.  Even as a young kid i remember going what the heck caterpie is a worm and birds eat worms.  Every kid knew this but it seems that ash did not. Caterpie runs away but pikachu defeats pidgeotto so ash still manages to catch the pidgeotto. Misty chews out ash about strategy but is interupted when that catchy tune of team rockets starts playing and thats when i knew that Jessy, James and Meowth were there to capture pikachu.  Ash sends out pidgeotto but it is weak from the battle before it was captured and cant fight so he asks caterpie to fight. Caterpie decides to fight but is double teamed by the trios pokemon Koffing a gas type pokemon and Ekans a snake type pokemon. Caterpie wraps them up in a string shot then tackles them away when they laugh at him. I thought to myself, "Wow i find this unlikely".
